Comments and Resources
"But our testimony would not be complete if we did not reaffirm our faith in the second coming of Christ, in the millennium which is to come when he will reign as King of kings, and Lord of Lords" (Hugh B.

"Whether descriptively designated as Creator, Only Begotten Son, Prince of peace, Advocate, Mediator, Son of God, Savior, Messiah, Author and Finisher of Salvation, King of Kings, -- I witness that Jesus Christ is the only name under heaven whereby one can be saved!
